Lucretia Mott

Lucretia Mott (January 3, 1793 – November 11, 1880) was the first major American women's activist in the early 1800s and is credited as the first "feminist", but more accurately, the launcher of women's political advocacy. She was a Quaker, a women's rights proponent, and an abolitionist.
